Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

For this new school year I will be teaching a new grade. I need to decorate my new classroom. The Better Than Paper is an excellent choice because it can be reuse for a couple of years. I am thinking about our environment too.!

I need the backing paper to decorate all the classroom bulletin boards, and the outside the classroom bulletin boards too.

The borders will be used to decorate the bulletin boards too. When students arrive on their first day of school, is very important to have a very well decorated classroom to make them feel welcomed.

My paper choice was pastel colors to help them feel calm and happy in the new classroom. It is important to welcome my students with an organized and nicely decorated classroom. I want them to feel comfortable and welcome since day one in the classroom they will spend their new school year.
